Sydney is an attacking midfielder who occupies a specific position in attack. She plays in the half spaces and more specifically the right side half spaces. Here, she completely dominates in the attacking aspect of her team. When attacking, her function is similar to that of an inverted winger, but much more central. This allows her to pick pockets of space created by her striker to create danger. Her vision and creativity are fantastic, creating chances for her teammates with ease. However, her most impressive attribute is the way she runs in behind the defense. This can be both on and off the ball, but she’ll always find herself close to the goal. When she is close to goal, she demonstrates her phenomenal finishing, scoring goals as if she were an attacker.

DeLacy was named to the ECNL All Conference First Team for the Mid-Atlantic. The VA Union midfielder was nearly unstoppable this season. She uses her body well to shield players off the ball – she has a knack for dribbling across the defender so she pins them on her hip to create an advantage. It’s a sophisticated nuance of her game that really stands out from game film and makes her tough to stop in the open field. She has incredible balance too. She is right foot dominant, but that strength and balance shines as she is too tough to stop even though defenders know which way she is going. DeLacy is a multifaceted prospect from the midfield and can create too. DeLacy’s player profile suggest a high level impact player at the next level and should be on the radar for all scouts.
